If it's true that 11, 300+ deaths by guns are the average in the US, that means there is about 31 deaths "per day" in the USA by guns. If those
statistics were reported daily, people would think there was absolute Apocalypse madness occurring in the US.

If Influenza deaths were reported daily, we'd have a pandemic on our hands.

Ok.. so the closer stupid people are to each other the more they shoot each other. That's what I get from the map anyhow.

I'm willing to bet that the educational standards in these high density areas are sub par even by Americas standards.

Well educated folk tend to kill others less than uneducated folk.

There are so so many things broken in America that contribute to this issue. And despite a common misconception, guns have not changed much in the
past hundred years, but policy and a whole slew of other things have.

Well, it matters because if you can prevent access to methods of murder that are more effective and more efficient, such as guns, then people will
have to rely on less effective means to murder other people, and they will thus not be able to murder people as effectively.

Are you people seriously so stupid that you can't figure stuff like this out on your own?

Living in Chicago I find this hillarious as well..... Though I did just get my FOID..... And i'm waiting on the CCW laws to be re-written, praise Tom
Cruise (that's a joke)

To the Original OP, how bout we just make a chart that show's the gun related deaths to every other non gun related death.... Wait hasn't t his been
done....? So this site isn't doing anything new..... Someone in Chicago was just shot while writting this.....

I find stat's to be ridiculous and fictitious if not just food for foder and and passing time.

More efficient for whom?

the only reason I could be deadly with a gun is because of my training. My oldest son, who doesn't shoot, would be lucky to not shoot himself were
he to rampage. It is all about training, especially if you are talking about a pistol.

With the same amount of training it would take to be able to shoot people reliably with a pistol someone could learn to make an explosive.

But "less effective means" seems more like a treatment of a symptom, not the actual cause. Take away everyone's guns....it is just a band aid.
And I think you will find that there are more effective means of murder than pulling a trigger.

"You people"?

And why are "we people" stupid? Because we have a different perspective than you?

I do not compare these numbers to their equivalences in other countries. I simply want to give a link to a quite accurately updated list.

Is there a rising tendency to gun-deaths? Is there a trend for copyists, using weapons for some maniacal cause like wanting to be news for the country
for even one day or something?

Please, just stop.

And they are still less then 1.5% of total deaths in the country! If they reported all the deaths by doctors and cars people would think it was the
Apocalypse! Yes please just stop this anti-gun stupidity!
